Detailed explanation-1: -Answer and Explanation: The right choice is c) complementary base pairing. The complementary base pairing in DNA is the key feature that allows DNA to be copied.
Detailed explanation-2: -DNA base pair. Under normal circumstances, the nitrogen-containing bases adenine (A) and thymine (T) pair together, and cytosine (C) and guanine (G) pair together. The binding of these base pairs forms the structure of DNA .
Detailed explanation-3: -Two nitrogen-containing bases (or nucleotides) that pair together to form the structure of DNA. The four bases in DNA are adenine (A), cytosine (C), guanine (G), and thymine (T). These bases form specific pairs (A with T, and G with C).
Detailed explanation-4: -This means that each of the two strands in double-stranded DNA acts as a template to produce two new strands. Replication relies on complementary base pairing, that is the principle explained by Chargaff’s rules: adenine (A) always bonds with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) always bonds with guanine (G).
